A teenage girl put into a coma after suffering a series of seizures woke up a mum four days later.

Not knowing she was pregnant, Ebony went to bed feeling very poorly on December 2, 2018, before being rushed to hospital and being placed in an induced coma.

But when she finally woke up on December 6 she discovered she'd had a surprise BABY.

The college student - who studies Sports Physiotherapy - hadn't developed a bump, experienced no morning sickness and had not missed a period, reports the Mirror Online .

She had no idea she was expecting as her unborn baby was hidden in one of two uteruses, in a condition called uterus didelphys. The condition, thought to affect one in 3,000 women, means those affected are born with two uteruses.

In Ebony’s case, only one of them had a fallopian tube to carry an egg, while the other had none – meaning her chances of conception should have been slim.

After suffering a series of seizures, Ebony was rushed to Royal Oldham Hospital, Greater Manchester, and placed in an induced coma. Medics performed tests and discovered Ebony had suffered from preeclampsia which had caused the seizures, and she was pregnant.

“Despite me insisting she couldn’t be pregnant, the paramedics were certain she was, and to my shock a bump had appeared at her stomach,” Sheree said.

“They think the ferocity of the seizures could have caused the baby to move, making it suddenly visible.”

Ebony was rushed to Royal Oldham Hospital, near Manchester, where she was sedated before being rushed for an emergency caesarean that same morning.

Proud grandmother Sheree was the first to hold the surprise baby, who was born weighing 7lbs 10oz.

“It was a strange moment because I had no time to prepare for it,” Sheree said.

“I was over the moon that she was happy and healthy, but couldn’t help but worry about my own little girl who remained in a coma.”

For the next four days, Ebony was in an induced coma while Sheree and her mum – Ebony's grandmother, Geraldine, 56 – stayed by her side, all the whilst looking after the little baby girl – who was later named Elodie.

On December 6, Ebony finally opened her eyes, and it was only then that she learnt she had two uterus’ – one of which was continuing to menstruate and the other which was growing her baby girl.

“When I woke up I remember the nurses telling me I had a baby, and before I knew it they’d put her on my chest,” said Ebony.

“It sounds awful now, but I asked them to take her away as I was so confused and sure they’d made a mistake.

“But my mum explained it all to me while the nurses were there and they gave my little girl back to me to hold properly for the first time.

“Although I was so confused – and pretty scared – it was a beautiful moment and she was so quiet.”

Due to the weight of her little girl, doctors suggest that Ebony carried her to full term, which is astonishing considering she had no idea.

This was made possible by the fact she has two uteruses - one is positioned towards her back so the pregnancy went unnoticed.

Neither Ebony nor her mum had any idea that she had two uteruses, but this allowed her to continue having regular periods throughout the pregnancy, disguising it even more.

“The doctors said that Elodie was a miracle baby, as women with her condition often struggle to conceive or carry to full-term,” Sheree said.

Both mum and baby remained in intensive care until finally being allowed home on December 13, where little Elodie was introduced to her uncles and aunts – Kennedy, 12, Poppy, eight, Pia, three and Navy, two.

“Ebony has taken to being a mum so well, she’s a natural,” Sheree added.

“And little Elodie is an absolute beauty – we couldn’t love her more if we tried.”

“Although I had no time to prepare, I wouldn’t change what’s happened for the world,” said Ebony.

“I’m so excited to wake up and see her every morning, and to get to spend another day with my precious little miracle.”
